Description

A free, browser-based tool to check whether your game controller works correctly. Connect any gamepad over USB or Bluetooth and instantly see button presses, analog stick movement, trigger travel and rumble. Unlike raw input viewers, it returns a clear stick-drift verdict — pass or fail. Works with Xbox, PlayStation (DualSense / DualShock) and Switch Pro controllers. Runs entirely in your browser; no input data ever leaves your device. No signup, no install.

No-Login Task
